87 New Historical Fiction Books Hitting Shelves This Year

Chanel Cleeton continues telling stories of charismatic, complicated Cuban women in history in her latest novel, "The Cuban Heiress." Inspired by a real maritime disaster from 1934, the novel entwines the stories of two women whose secrets overlap on what should be a simple voyage. Catherine, a New York heiress, appears to the world like a woman who has it all. But her whole life is a lie, and she's forced to join forces with a jewel thief to find out who wants her dead and why. Elena is a woman on the run, betrayed and believed dead, and she's out for revenge against the architect of her misfortune — and her target is on the ship with her.
